About

Full-Stack Software Engineer at the intersection of high-performance systems and modern web architecture.

I build web applications with React, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL (PostGIS, TimescaleDB), develop C++ real-time services using WebRTC/DIS, and integrate efficient AI like Whisper.cpp for real-time transcription.
I thrive on complex engineering challenges that demand architectural foresight and low-level optimization. My work bridges low-latency network services with scalable user interfaces.
